My 9/11
Ten years ago I was on a plane from Denver to Columbus, connecting through Chicago. After landing in Chicago, our pilot got on the intercom and told us, “Ladies and gentlemen, there’s been an incident. The president has been notified. Two planes have flown into the World Trade Center.” Then he walked up and down the aisle comforting passengers. I learned that he used to work with the flight crew on one of the planes that hit the towers—yet he was comforting us. I left my suitcase at the airport and made my way by Greyhound back to college. I didn’t see any TV coverage until well after midnight. It was all surreal.
Prayers for those whose lives were changed that day, and by all that has happened since.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world:
have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world:
have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world:
grant us peace.
